Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The contribution of alchemists to the modern study of chemistry needs to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Chemistry is the study of the substances around us. It can also be defined as the study of matter and how matter can be changed.

Answer to Problem 1E
The alchemists have discovered the laboratory techniques to create gold out of ordinary substances for the welfare of society.
Explanation of Solution
The modern study of chemistry has emerged from the number of experimentation and the effort of the alchemists. The alchemists have invented various useful tools and have discovered many laboratory techniques to create gold out of ordinary substances for the welfare of society.
Alchemists have created gold out of ordinary substances using various laboratory techniques.

Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis of a-hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes. The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated.

- Refer to the data below to answer the following questions: The octapeptide saralasin is a specific antagonist of angiotensin II. A derivative of saralasin is used therapeutically as an antihypertensive. Amino acid analysis of saralasin show the presence of the following amino acids: Ala, Arg, His, Pro, Sar, Tyr, Val, Val A. Sar is the abbreviation for sarcosine, N-methyl aminoethanoic acid. Draw the structure of sarcosine. B. N-Terminal analysis by the Edman method shows saralasin contains sarcosine at the N-terminus.
